is paul ryan now the de facto head of the gop? >> well, you know, actually, martin, i think he has been much more influential than people realize -- >> because he's been quite quiet publicly. >> going back to 2011. he has so much respect within that republican caucus. he's the guy who killed simpson/bowl simpson/bowles. he was on the simpson/bowles commission and wasn't willing to have any revenue increases. his fingerprints were not on it. and then when it came to the grand bargain, he told john boehner wait until the election. don't do this deal. so this is more of the same from him in his own relatively quiet way because he is much more intelligent than a lot of the other members. he does wield a lot of influence. what he's trying to do here is not just kick the can down the road but to kind of institution institutionalize basically a water torture for the country where we would be going through this potentially month after month after month. >> yeah. jared, it was reported today that the country saw another drop in unemploymen

, let's go back to paul ryan. why are he and so many other republicans only opposed to aid when it doesn't benefit them? because paul ryan voted for flood insurance for his district, for instance, and your publication today has a story of how tim huelskanp's won't allow aid to people sleeping in their car in new jersey. >> the republican party is a regional party mostly the south and somewhat in the midwest. and they don't like the northeast. you know, pete king kind of -- he said as much. he told republicans stay out of the northeast. he told donors who live in new york, stop giving to republicans. you know, that's more or less what is driving this. >> dyson, i thought to a republican raising taxes was the most distasteful thing a person could do, yet almost twice as many house republicans voted for the fiscal cliff deal as did aid for aides of hurricane sandy. does that mean that helping the needy is twice as bad as raising taxes in their collective minds? >> absolutely. that's the mathematics of misery for the

do you expect we'll hear paul ryan try to justify his opposition to flood relief once again? >> you know, i think that the debate is really going to circle around whether or not we're going to cut other things in order to pay for this relief. i actually feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to fend off a number of these crazy amendments that are there, but the question is how much of the remaining $50 billion is going to have to be offset somewhere else? and i think it's absolutely outrageous that they consider that these are all emergency funds. these are people who have been waiting since october 29th, and so i feel actually pretty confident that we're going to be able to pass something that is worthwhile. but the debate is going to really be awful. >> let us hope so. representative jan schakowsky, jonathan alter, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> coming up, we'll "clear the air" but first hampton pearson has the cnbc market wrap. >> we had a mixed bag monday on wall street. the dow up 19 points. the s&p losing a point. the nasdaq down by 8 points. that's it

yet paul ryan yesterday coming out and as a leader sort of talking about we may need to be more accepting of the fact that we only control the house. we don't have the white house or the senate. can republicans do anything in the context of the debate -- the fiscal debates we're in now to improve their brand, to improve their standing? >> i think with the middle, they could. the problem, though, is, mark, you know, so they hit their all-time low or high, however you want to characterize this number. it's the worst negative rating we've ever actually recorded for the republican party. but it was republicans. it's republicans who have now a more negative view. there's still more republicans that have a positive view than negative view, but it is core republicans who are upset with the party. so you have to ask yourself, if you're the republican party, who do you win back first, and how do you do it? so if they did a big grand bargain, their favorable ratings would jump a lot with a bunch of voters who may not ever support who they are. that's sort of the political box that i've heard that h

that's a direct shot at the house budget chairman paul ryan. i mean, that was what he was doing, vilifying those taking part of any those kind of programs been institutions in this country for decades and have been successful. and poll very well with the american people so i thought the president laying it right now. i believe in what we're doing in these programs and will strengthen them. another victory for the president is the republicans have caved in. they have announced to be taking a vote on the debt ceiling. so it just -- >> on wednesday. >> only gets better. >> yeah. at this point, we are in the middle of a process of governing that's going to get very hot very fast this week with the debt ceiling vote in the house and potentially a filibuster vote in the senate. the president speaking to some of those matters at least in the second inaugural. not a state of the union but had a lot of specifics in it. you are watching msnbc's live continuing coverage of president obama's second inauguration. we'll be right back. have given way to sleep
